NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has captured a stunning image of a “space triangle” where two galaxies collide, resulting in a star-birth tsunami. Collectively known as Arp 143, the duo consists of the bright and distorted star-forming galaxy NGC 2445 and the less luminous galaxy NGC 24444. NGC 2445 has been distorted, to appear triangular in … Read more
